I was using it that way until about 2020. (Mint 13 MATE supported, but it seems that capability was lost somewhere along the line. Shame, because I have a dual monitor setup where the second monitor is often displaying the picture from a different device, so in that situation I absolutely cannot have applications deciding to open on the busy-elsewhere screen. I miss being able to set a movie running on one monitor and have it not disappear if I flipped virtual desktops on the other!)
